Hello! You guys may have read update on my earlier post and saw that my 5 year old has been officially diagnosed with Celiacs through a blood test and intestinal biopsy and now my 8 year old has had a positive blood test. Well I also had my blood tested by ordering a test online through Directlabs (I have no health insurance). I was not able to get the exact...

*UPDATE* You guys were right, we got the results of my 5 year old daughters endoscopy and she definitely has Celiacs disease. Her duodenum showed damage(scalloping), her villi was blunted and she has increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (don't know what that means?). She also had a polyp in her colon which was removed, don't know if that is related to...

Bummer, I was hoping the poop situation wouldn't be an all day thing:( I will definitely plan on keeping her out of the water. I will also be bringing my own towels and blankets just in case of an accident... Just got her prep instructions in the mail and it looks like liquids will begin at 5:00 pm two days before the procedure with 4 dozes of miralax...

Hello everyone! So my daughter has her appointment for her endoscope next week, glad to finally be able to get a definitive answer on wether or not she has Celiacs.

My daughters practitioner told me not have any one else tested until we see the peds endo, but we were referred a week ago and still have not heard back from them (OHSU in Portland...

Thanks for your responses! I'm feeling broken hearted, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised about the test results as autoimmune disorders do run on my dads side (hashimotos and psoriasis). We actually had her tested at 1 because she was colicky, had muscousy stools and completely fell of the growth chart, but that showed up negative so I had hoped we are...

Hello everyone, my name is Jacky and this is my first post here. My 5 year daughter has been having some constipation/bleeding that led us to the dr., well after running some tests I got a call yesterday saying that she had some mild positive and some positive results on her celiacs test. We were referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, but in the meantime...
